- Set aside to let it dry completely.
- Now print out the provided FREE Christmas fairy house printout listed above in the supply list.
- Print it out the file in color on white cardstock. You only need to print one per craft.
- Using scissors, trim out each section in the printable you just printed.
- Now decide which windows you are going to use for your craft {you only need two windows.} There are several different versions of fairies in windows OR you can use the provided blank windows & draw whatever you like inside of them {bonus tip – trim out the center of the blank windows and use your child’s pictures to fill the frames!} Set aside your chosen pieces.
- Next up – grab the red cardstock.
- Cut out a long rectangular “chimney” for the fairy house.
- Draw on the bricks with the black Sharpie marker.
- Once the paper plate is dry and you have everything cut out that you want to use for your piece, now it’s time to start assembling your Christmas fairy house.
- Go ahead and glue some cotton ball “snow” on top of the paper plate house, as well as on the chimney {any other places you like!}
- Finally, glue/staple the other paper embellishments in place on the paper plate.
